Modern Warfare 2 =) Surprised? Dont be, I'm sure I'm not the only one instantly addicted to the newly released game which smashed records, bringing in $310 million in 24 hours in North America. Mike Griffith, CEO of Activision Publishing, has reason to celebrate "the biggest launch in history across all forms of entertainment." My brother waited patiently for this limited edition Xbox (which included the game) and didn't even get to hook it up when he got 
home. How sad. The following day, I couldnt help but notice the black box as it sat on my living room floor patiently waiting for someone to open it. I wanted to be that someone. I hooked it up and attempted to play. Yes, attempted. I cant even begin to explain how difficult I found it at first. I didnt give up though, oh no, I kept trying. Ultimately, I got through the training and went on to play; I was hooked. The storytelling and cinematics are superb, I just lose myself. Before I knew it I spent 45 minutes trying to perfect my abilities to walk, aim and shoot at the same time. As easy as it sounded, it wasn't. Safe to say it will be a while before I can join Xbox Live (without any embarassment). I know, I'm a hypocrite passively criticizing people those who are devoted fans and wondering how they can play for hours. Well, my hat goes off to you fellow Modern Warfare fans, it is an amazing game. So amazing that Infinity Ward is already working on the "next installment" of the series, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, where you take on the role of PVT. Keeshon Lewis. There will also be a Wii version of the game that includes a 17-pound controller, shaped like a M-249 Machine Gun. Sounds cool. Until then, I will happily settle for my five pound controller.
